The Washington Post

Mike Richman has contributed to The Washington Post, one of the premier newspapers in the United States, with articles on Redskins history, American history and high school sports. His most popular article in the Post was an opinion piece in which he boldly described the Redskins' 2009 season as their worst year in a half-century. Mike supported his argument by coupling the team's miserable 4-12 record with an unprecedented fan rebellion directed at the Redskins' front office. Mike did a web chat on the day after that article appeared. Mike also penned an article for the Post on five myths about the Redskins. His American history pieces include features on the the 100-year anniversary of the Spanish-American War and the 150-year anniversary of the Associated Press.
